Tottenham Hotspur are now prepared to offload a top-performing regular this summer in a bid to reshape the squad and raise funds, with his replacement already there.
Tottenham make transfer plans amid Ange Postecoglou uncertainty
Right now, it is being reported that under-fire boss Ange Postecoglou is facing the Spurs axe at the end of this Premier League campaign, which could happen regardless of whether they end up winning the Europa League.
This news comes courtesy of reliable journalist Matt Law and other credible media sources, with a parting of the ways becoming increasingly likely after Tottenham suffered their eighteenth Premier League defeat of the season against Nottingham Forest on Easter Monday.
While the Lilywhites have a major chance to clinch their first piece of silverware in 17 years, that still may not be enough to save Postecoglou after a dismal domestic season, but their problems lie beyond just the manager.
Tottenham's lack of strength in depth when compared to their elite Premier League rivals was exposed time and time again this season, thanks to the plethora of injuries to key players throughout 2024/2025, so this is an issue which needs addressing in the summer.
"[The top clubs have] been doing it many years. They know exactly what they're doing," said winger Dejan Kuluseviski, who criticised Spurs' transfer policy.
"They're bringing in a lot of players that are ready to play both competitions. And they are prepared for it.
"This year we cannot say that we're prepared for it because we had so many injuries, and we did a lot of things wrong from the beginning of the season, and we're paying for it right now."
According to journalist Graeme Bailey, in a piece for The Boot Room, Tottenham are planning to strengthen "almost all areas" of the squad in the next transfer window, but they must first raise funds.
Tottenham "ready to sell" Pedro Porro and replace him with Djed Spence
Bailey also writes that star right-back Pedro Porro could be among the players sacrificed, with the emergence of 24-year-old Djed Spence as an impressive full-back option handing Spurs a ready-made replacement for the Spaniard.
Tottenham are apparently "ready to sell" Porro and bolster their transfer kitty, but will demand north of £50 million for the ex-Man City and Sporting Lisbon defender as Levy eyes a small profit on the £40 million they paid for him.
While Porro has impressed, Spurs' need to reinforce multiple areas of the squad is taking centre stage, and Spence has showcased that he's more than capable of being entrusted with a regular starting spot on either flank.
